A Coming Race War?

Quite frankly I doubt it. However, an article by Thomas Sowell in National Review is interesting reading.

If you're interested, the entire article is well worth reading. The quoted sections below are an excerpt.

For American society, a dangerous polarization has set in. Signs of this polarization over the years include opposite reactions between blacks and whites to the verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case, the “rape” charges against Duke University students, and the trials resulting from the beating of Rodney King and the death of Trayvon Martin.

More dangerous than these highly publicized episodes over the years are innumerable organized and unprovoked physical attacks on whites by young black gangs in shopping malls, on beaches, and in other public places all across the country today.

While some of these attacks make it into the media as isolated incidents, the nationwide pattern of organized black-on-white attacks by thugs remains invisible in the mainstream media, with the notable exception of Bill O’Reilly on the Fox News Channel.

Mr. Sowell is a very clear headed man, who the media mostly ignores, because he's black. And there is nobody that the mainstream media hates more than a black man who speaks frankly and honestly on the subject of race in America.

When the Chicago Tribune was criticized for editing out the race of the attackers in a series of similar organized attacks in Chicago, it replied that race was irrelevant. Yet race is not considered irrelevant when indignantly editorializing on a disproportionate number of young black males arrested and imprisoned.

Sadly, what happened in Milwaukee and Chicago were not isolated incidents. They were part of a pattern repeated in dozens of cities, in every region of the country. Colin Flaherty’s book, which is subtitled “The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It,” reveals this pattern in painful detail.

Other books are emerging that are more clearly a white backlash, in the sense that they attack behavior patterns among contemporary blacks in general.

Perhaps the most clearly “backlash” books are those written by Paul Kersey, whose central theme is that whites have created thriving cities, which blacks subsequently took over and ruined. Examples include his books about Birmingham (The Tragic City) and Detroit (Escape from Detroit).

I don't see a general race war in which white people slaughter black people to be a likely scenario. I knew a person once who suggested that blacks would rise up and kill whites. However when you look at raw numbers and who is at the range on the weekends, I can suggest that the ratio of survivors would favor whites if it came to a show down.

In more recent riots in Los Angeles it's interesting to note that only black neighborhoods were destroyed by blacks. The Korean district was spared because the Koreans shot back and left rioters dead on the perimeter of their neighborhood. Likewise most white neighborhoods were spared not due to the intervention of the police, but because of the presence of armed people intent on preserving their lives and property.

The progressive agenda suggests that those armed people be disarmed, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon despite legislation.

When you look at the ratio of white to black in combat arms, it favors the whites overwhelmingly. There are quite a number of black service people in supporting roles. Thus the experienced veterans intermingled in society are overwhelmingly white as are the police.

Just like all Liberal/Progressive ideas, when they think they are helping, they are hurting. I was in court the other day when the judge asked the woman where she lived, and she referred to her residence as "scatter housing." Nobody knew what that was, so the judge asked her to elaborate, and she said, "It's public housing, but its the final step before getting your own home...I've been there twelve years."

...oh, and it was right across the street from the projects...today's government sponsored plantations.

It's interesting that the people most concerned with the near practical enslavement of many of the black people in America today are black people. I've never heard of the term, "scatter housing", but it's depressing when one thinks of the failure of the American Great Progressive Society.

I have a - very successful - friend who grew up in the projects. EVERYTHING depends on the adults taking care of the children. That's parents, school teachers, etc. Today too many project parents (today and for a long time) care only for themselves, if they care for anything at all.

In the English language, the root word for "slave" is "slav". It has nothing to do with being black. It has everything to do with the condition that the Great Russians had to endure under the reigns of the czars, which was simply 'remade' under the rule of Communist Russia. And it is that model which Obama so proudly espouses in his drive to 'fundamentally transform America'.

WoFat is precisely right. That is why the Progs want to weaken and ultimately destroy the family, and they have been quite successful at this among African Americans, who still vote 95% prog even though their lives are worse in every way for staying on the proverbial plantation. They plan the same for the rest of us.

The most dangerous place to be in New York City if you're black -- is in the womb. And of the things that the Tea Party stands for, the one that most galls progressives is their stance on the sanctity of life.

As of January 1, 2017 this blog began to receive anonymous posts. I try not to delete them, but if you want to be taken seriously here, you need to identify yourself, if only by some sort of cryptonym.

Welcome to Virtual Mirage

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad," asked Alice?

"You must be," said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Good Morning

Virtual Mirage - What's on the other side of the mirror? Ask Alice how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

This blog is an extension of MY JOURNEY because sometimes my journey needs more explanation, and sometimes there is more to be said than can be expressed on one ordinary blog.

Sometimes it's politics (very serious), sometimes I address the human condition with a dose of humor, and other times it may seem as if the track is headed in a unique direction. I can be a complicated guy at times.

There are a few things you'll find I consider:

* Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

* Sometimes the questions are complex but the answers are simple.

* Love is the only condition where the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

* Steers do not sign treaties with meat packers. (think on that)

* Taxes are NEVER levied for the benefit of the taxed.

* The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no victory possible in defense.

WHITE POWDER (Novel)

There is something intoxicating about a secret.

THE OLD WHORE (NOVEL)

In the peculiar culture of the Central Intelligence Agency, "old whores" are people who will do whatever it takes to get the job done, irrespective of the cost.

EXILES FROM EDEN (NOVEL)

Sparks fly as two star-crossed lovers meet. He runs toward trouble as she yearns for something missing. And it ends in a flight from and toward justice.

About Me

Today, I balance work and play as much as anyone can. All things remaining equal, play is more important. Life is short - it's important to make every day count for something, if only to yourself.
I'm a former tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor who has now decided that maybe it really wasn't all done for nothing.
